Page "Ernest Shackleton" Paragraph 22

Nimrod arrived at McMurdo Sound on 29 January, but was stopped by ice north of Discoverys old base at Hut Point.

After considerable weather delays, Shackleton's base was eventually established at Cape Royds, about north of Hut Point.

The party was in high spirits, despite the difficult conditions ; Shackleton's ability to communicate with each man kept the party happy and focused.
